Create a new version of a template

To create a new version of a template, use the Create New Version action in the Templates table.

Before you begin

You must be a domain administrator to create a new version of a template.

For a standard template, the template that you create a new version of must be in the published or archived state. For a composite template, the template that you create a new version of can also be in the missing member state.The new version is created in the draft state. There cannot already be a version in the draft state.

Procedure

  1. Expand the Cloud Provisioning category in the navigation area, then select Software Services.
  2. Select the Templates tab.
  3. In the table, select the template that you want to make a new version of.
  4. Click Actions, click Create, then click New Version.
    If the action is not available, it might be because you are not a domain administrator.
  5. On the Create New Version page, supply new values for any that you want to change. Values that are required are indicated by a * preceding the label for the field. See Values on the Create New Version window for a standard template or Values on the Create New Version window for a composite template.
  6. Click OK to create the new version of the template. The new version is created in a draft state.
    For a composite template, when there is invalid data for a connector, the new version is created without the invalid data.

What to do next

To add the template to a tenant, use the Resource Management task.
